狂野印度

印度是异国情调的混合锅，包括标志性的野生动植物，秘密地点，史诗般的风景和丰富多彩的美景。这个标志性和地标性系列是对印度最壮观的地点和令人难以置信的野生动植物的庆祝。从史诗般的喜马拉雅山脉的“雪之家”，我们前往强大的恒河，这是印度的生命线，它穿越了横跨次大陆的戏剧性道路。我们还将揭示“大印度沙漠”塔尔。其领土包括拉贾斯坦邦（“沙漠国家”）的大部分地区，其环境的荒凉与传统的拉贾斯坦服饰的醒目的色彩和令人惊叹的野生生物眼镜并列，老虎出没了森林，山尚未攀登，河流等着被钓鱼。最后是西高止山脉。这个生物多样性热点是史诗般的瀑布，山地部落，隐藏的洞穴和令人惊叹的野生动植物的家园。
第1部分：塔尔沙漠圣沙
印度的塔尔沙漠占地200,000平方公里，是地球上最严峻的地方之一。烘烤热，干燥的风和近乎永久的干旱使这片宽恕的土地赢得了另一个称呼-“死亡地区”。在探索印度大沙漠的过程中，我们揭示了其隐藏的秘密，并最终揭示了塔尔如何成为世界上最拥挤的沙漠。
第2部分：生命恒河
恒河是印度最长的河流。它从世界上最高的山脉喜马拉雅山冰川流向世界上最大的海湾孟加拉湾。人类污染可能使河水淹没，但野生动物却以某种方式生存。印度教徒认为恒河水具有净化的能力，似乎有一些科学证据支持这种信念：微观生物实际上吃掉了可能引起疾病的细菌，而且独特的高水平的氧气分解有机废物的速度比其他任何分解物质都要快河。恒河水的这种自洁特性有助于支撑世界上最后一些真正的旷野-Sundarbans沼泽。在这里，印度最大的野生虎种群从未学会恐惧人类，这使它们成为非常危险的邻居。
第3部分：喜马拉雅山在峰会中幸存
在亚洲以外，没有高峰达到7000米以上，但在喜马拉雅山脉上，超过100座山脉超过了这个高度至少200米，使其成为地球上最高的山脉。当地球沿着这片敌对的地形与天空相遇时，强劲的风零下的温度和氧气的缺乏几乎可以对抗所有形式的生命，但值得注意的是，这一巨大的地质特征以某种方式支持了地球上最大，最多样化的生物之一，包括人类。喜马拉雅山崎high的高地几乎无法为人类提供直接的庇护所，但在下面的阴影中，印度有超过十亿人依靠高山生存。
第四部分：西高止山脉季风山脉
西高止山脉沿印度西海岸绵延1000英里，是一座山脉的脊椎，被誉为世界上生物多样性最丰富的地方之一。山脉把头抬到季风云的路上，拦截雨水，使西坡成为印度最潮湿的地方。热带雨林蓬勃发展，并随着生命爆炸。西高止山脉是整个印度南部生活的关键。山上收集的雨水冲刷到了海岸，给喀拉拉邦的死水补水。巨大的河流向东穿越印度干燥的内部，这是动物和人类的生命线。
第五部分：印度的失落世界
想象一下迷失的世界-猎头部落，老虎出没的森林，未爬坡的山脉，原始的河流。被称为印度的七个姐妹，有七个相对未开发和孤立的印度州。在这片神秘的土地上隐藏着什么奥秘，为什么这么久没有被揭开呢？印度东北部是人类学的天堂。地球上没有其他地方拥有如此众多的不同种族。森林山坡上布满了神秘的部落，其生活取决于雨水的潮起潮落和森林的时令果实。在这些未开发和偏远的地区，西方世界鲜为人知的人们继续沉浸在古老的仪式中。

  INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife..

  Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands
  Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world.
  Part 2: Ganges River of Life
  The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours.
  Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits
  Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival.
  Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains
  Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people.
  Part 5: Indias Lost World
  Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
